[/B][/QUOTE]Dude,if you do nail him for everything you mentioned above,and the LAW now states that the total fines are $500,can you now tell the guy that if he gives you $200,you'll let him go?

To use your analogy,both a cop and a referee may make up their own minds as to whether someone is breaking a law/rule.They can call/charge someone,or let it slide.That's their judgement.However,if either of them does decide to nail someone,what neither of them can do now is inflict any punishment that is outside of the written law/rule that they are supposed to be enforcing.
